Shuangliao City is located at the junction of Jilin, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia provinces (districts), adjacent to the Songliao Plain and the Khorchin Grassland, and is known as the “Three Provinces with Chicken Sounds”. The jurisdictional area is 3,121.2 km².

Shuangliao has a long history, dating back to the Neolithic Age when humans had already multiplied and thrived. It was a place where nomadic and agricultural cultures intertwined. The East and West Liao Rivers meander through here. Originally, the West Liao River had prosperous water transportation. In the first year of the Jiaqing Reign (1796), a person surnamed Zheng opened a shop in the current county seat to provide accommodation for pedestrians. Since then, the number of residents has gradually increased, forming a settlement called Zhengjiatun.

Shuangliao was one of the revolutionary bases that the CPC opened up earlier in the northeast. It is located at the key point with great strategic significance. It was once the seat of the Ximan Branch of the Northeast Bureau of the CPC and the provincial party committees and governments of Liaoxi, Liaoji, and Liaobei. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, such as Li Fuchun, Tao Zhu, Huang Kecheng, Lyu Zhengcao, and Yan Baohang, have worked in Shuangliao.

It has developed regional transportation. Shuangliao is the transportation hub of highways and railways in the west of Northeast Region. Siping-Qiqihar Railway and Daqing-Shuangliao Railway pass through Shuangliao City. With four highways i.e. Daqing-Guangzhou Highway, Changchun-Shenzhen Highway, Ji’an-Xilinhot Highway and Nenjiang-Dandong Highway intersecting here, Shuangliao City is the sole node city equipped with 4 highways and 9 highway exits in Jilin Province.

It has rich resources. Silica sand resource is hidden and waiting for use, and Qikeshu silica sand resource is one of the four rich ores in the world, with reserves up to 900 million tons. Relying on the silica sand resource, two giant glass manufacturers in China i.e.Jinken Glass and Yingxin Glass become stationed in Shuangliao, thus making Shuangliao City as the sole glass material characteristic park in Jilin Province, the biggest glass material base in North China, and the nationally planned silica raw material production base in North China.

Chemical basic raw materials are abundant. Shuangliao Haohua Chemical produces 200,000 tons/year of caustic soda, 160,000 tons/year of high-purity acid, and 178,000 tons/year of chlorine gas.
